Hi guys..........Yes the Kezzerbird is back! It has been 4 weeks since my operation and after almost giving up on life, I have once again kicked my own backside and got myself together once more.
My beauty regime is gone out of the window now and I make Kate Moss look fat, someone has stolen my bum and left me with this flat skinny thing, which is not on at all!
My hair is now a quarter of an inch long and someone as put a catterpiller above my eyes so I had to get my daughter around with her twezzers to sort them out!! I also have a 2 foot scar from my ribs which goes staight down to my boots and a stomer bag stuck on my stomach and I am waring big pants. I tell you, I am a pure sex kitten! Oh and my sense of humour is back.
Yesterday I went to the hospital to see my consultant and for a change I received some honest answers. He told me that my cancer had spread and that the surgoen had removed nearly all of it, I have some cancer in the linning of my stomach. In 2 weeks time I start a new course of treatment, I may have 3 or I may need 6. The new combo of chemo are: CISPLATIN,CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE and DOXORUBICIN.
I wasn't looking forward to starting chemo again but I have no choice, I shall be having this every 3 weeks, and it takes all day to adminiter (oh my poor bum!)
For anyone who has read my previous blooggs about the chemo that I had that didn't work for me, please don't panic and remember we are all different.
At the moment I have servere contipation, so I am trying to un-bung myself, I am a bit miffed coz I have just started to eat again, the doctors won't prescribe dynamite to clear it, but Hay Ho that will get sorted.
In 10 weeks Kev and I are on our much loved holiday, 2 weeks in a narrowboat on the canel in North Wales and I have made it clear to the hospital that I am going on that no matter what, I can't wait.
Well my bum is stating to hurt so that means I have to get off it, so to all I send my love and thoughts..........Love Carol xx

As you knew from my message, I had just been getting really worried about your 'radio silence'. Indeed you have been having a right battle offline. I'm really sorry to hear about what's going on. You are certainly having a horrible time - thank heavens you have that sense of humour, because you flipping well need it. Does the bunging up mean the stoma? Does prune juice work with this? Please someone with this modification help here! Yes, that holiday is a goal to aim for, and one you really need. Lots of love xxx Penny
Dear Carol - what a horrible time you've been having but it's great to read your blog and see that the old feisty Kezzerbird is back and fighting. Hope the new treatment works miracles, that your poor flat backside plumps up to provide cushioning and that you have a fabulous - and well deserved - holiday. Talk to you soon! Love, Kate xxx
